Live music, venues, festivals, art, local characters and creative life from across the Gold Coast.
YELO follows the people, places and cultural pockets giving the city its own identity, from touring shows and local stages to independent spaces, artists and the things happening just under the neon.
The Gold Coast has a live music and creative scene spread across bars, theatres, breweries, outdoor spaces, arts precincts and smaller rooms where local culture actually gets made.
YELO covers the artists, venues, gigs, festivals and people shaping that scene, alongside the cultural stories that give the city more personality than its postcard reputation suggests.
